Photographer Désirée van Hoek has made downtown Los Angeles her working area. After 'Skid Row' (2015) and 'Notes on Downtown' (2022), 'Talking about LA' is her third book about the historic core of the American metropolis. This time, Van Hoek focuses on the typography around Broadway, the vibrant thoroughfare that divides the city in east and west, and that has seen countless transformations over the years. She teams up with local writer and historian Norman M. Klein, who, on the basis of (noir) films, literature, and personal memory, wrote an essay about the erasure of memory in the neighbourhood.
